I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
Hi, I’m Nicky and I was born in Malta. I have been hosting and curating local music events for the past 15 years which has led me onto this new journey to renovate traditional Gozitan houses and create settings with a calm atmosphere where guests can relax and recharge. I enjoy traveling, cooking, world music, design, exercise and other wellness activity. Overall i desire to live a slow paced conscious life and share good times with friends.
